Jailed gangster turned Mukhtar Ansari’s son Abbas Ansari was granted bail by the court of MP-MLA in Mau district after he surrendered before it on Friday in two cases of violation of model code of conduct lodged against him during the 2022 assembly polls.
The UP police had launched an intense manhunt across several states to chase the alleged absconding leader down. He is wanted in several cases by the police that include violation of election code of conduct and arms license.
In one of the cases Abbas, his brother Umar Ansari and uncle Mansoor Ansari were named accused apart from some other persons. The court had ordered non-bailable warrant against them, he said. The bail was granted after the accused furnished two bonds of 20,000 each.
Abbas had contested from the family stronghold of Mau Sadar assembly seat on Suheldeo Bhartiya Samaj Party ticket. He won the elections where his father had maintained his hold since 1996. In August, Lucknow’s special MP-MLA court declared him absconder in a case in which he is accused of transferring an arms licence from UP to New Delhi. He was accused of not informing the Lucknow Police. He moved several weapons with just one license, it was alleged.
